Ursines

Background
The Ursines are a race of humanoid bears originating from Byre. Nomadic in nature, they live off of the land by hunting and gathering their resources. Some special of the individuals of the race are able to shift into a more primal bear form. There are five Ursine tribes, and all are descended from the Oghdan Khet, who they worship as their "Great Mother". The Ursines are the first playable race in the Witanlore series, as the only playable race and main focus of Witanlore: Dreamtime.

1. Blackclaw
The Blackclaw tribe are the most numerous of the Ursines, and most often the tribe of an Ursine warrior. On Duan Rhod, they live within the Raghvale region in their village of Sewig.

2. Sunblessed
The Sunblessed tribe live a much more carefree existence than their cousins from the other tribes. They are mostly fisherman, inhabiting the Sunblessed coast of Duan Rhod in their village of Bohalo.

3. Icecore
The Icecore tribe often live in the harsh cold, residing in their village of Beodfal on Duan Rhod's mountain of Beodlyft. They are the most distrusting of the Ursines, and always deadly.

4. Pangani
The Pangani tribe mostly spend their days within the unforgiving and harsh heat of desert regions, calling their village of Daresh in the Elfyre Canyon of Duan Rhod home.

5. Khetlek
The Khetlek are the rarest of all the Ursines, mostly believed to be extinct.The most magically adept of the Ursines, the Khetlet were the first of the race, from who all other tribes trace their lineage. The few who are left live their lives in an unknown location on Duan Rhod.
